Hart on leave of absence now.
World Cup thing reason?
Happy with my 3rd place in the standings.
I don't ever like paying up for goalies.
I remember considering taking Hart late - but didn't want to risk it with the uncertainty of whether he was going to be playing.
And my first round pick needs to keep playing like he has the last couple games to help me out here!

5 weeks left and LotR has a good 34p lead, but will the nerves get to him..? That Demko injury was untimely.

This may have been my most "middling" draft of all-time.
Super duper vanilla meh.
Season is nearing its end and it's time to review one's predictions and picks.
You were right. Dahlin never reached new heights and Stützle fell back points-wise. Draisaitl/Josi was a much better combo this year.
The Rantanen-Nichuchkin combo turned out slightly ahead of the Pastrnak-Debrusk combo.
Wallstedt did play a few games, but he likely wouldn't have helped Invictus for goalie stats.
The bet on Sorokin and Hill as sole goalies didn't work out as well as I had hoped. Sorokin having worse stats compared to Varlamov was unexpected and shows how unpredictable this position is. Hill being injured for half the season was a slightly more predictable and a gamble which didn't pay off. Not a total failure in strategy, but not a success either. It could have worked out with a bit of luck.
The misses:
Jakob Pelletier - final pick - didn't play much
Filip Chytil - next last pick - 10 games played
Viktor Arvidsson - drafted 16th round - injured most of the season, may get around 17 games in total
Jesperi Kotkaniemi - 21 round - a gamble he'd turn it around, but ultimately a bad season
Juuso Valimaki - 19th - same as above, hoped for more
Rasmus Sandin - 15th - same as above
Pierre-Luc Dubois - 6th - major disappoinment for where I picked him
Ilya Sorokin - 2nd round, 25 pick - Charlie Lindgren is ranked above
Greatest hits:
Sam Reinhart
Wyatt Johnston
Bouchard, Hagel and Ekholm were good picks too.
Not sure what the outtakes are from this season. The strategy to avoid injury prone players should be smart, but tougher to implement. As far as goalie strategies go, I'm not sure. Did anyone learn anything?
edit: It wasn't a good bet.

Congrats LordoftheRinks! Some great drafting with top scores in almost every category. Impressive score for duntroon68 too, given the low amount of games played.
Again - fun league/draft. Thanks for commissioning(?) it!
This mock has become one of my favourite things.
I’m not sure anyone would have said, before the season, that my goalie team of Talbot, Daccord, Varlamov and Francouz (0 GP) would keep me in it. I had optimistic dreams but they matched my best hopes.
LOTR, however, led in both skater and goalie points overall, as he will do, and that was that. Second win in three years, I believe. Congratulations.
